I pay for TV 200+ channels , Phone and internet and it comes to $99.00.(Bundle Package)If you are a new customer they have a promo where the Internet is free right now for 3-6 months pending where you live. I'm at work so i cant itemize my bill for you.

verizon FiOS is the best by a long shot, as a pure internet service. it's.. what, 20Mbit down/up for $40/mo, and not affected by neighbor traffic?

Sorry , I have to disagree thier. I have Comcast as well now and it is just super fast. No matter the time of day ect.. plus you get Free antivirus and a Firewall. Ton more features as well. Like when your DL'ing it kicks in PowerBoost to double your DL speed.

Comcast is OK but, I had insight communications until the first of this year. It was 10 mb. Now that comcast took over I dont get over 8mb. Although it is now cheaper than it was.($30 vs $44) I would rather have 10mb. I used to get 1.2mb downloads vs. now i get 850kb actual download speed. We are talking at least 30 sec difference on a 100mb download. lol 30 sec

Also, Insight was somewhat local wich I liked. Comcast is nation Wide.

I guess I've just had my opinion of Comcast poisoned from having dealt with their TV side of things here in the bay area. Then again, Verizon's not even bringing FiOS to the neighborhood i'm in yet, so bleh. They're likely much better in other areas.
